The Royal Perth

The Royal Hotel, nestled in the heart of Perth, has weathered its share of trials and tribulations over the years. I stopped by this iconic pub on a Friday, when the the special of the day is a simple chicken roll with chips and gravy, an indulgent treat for just $20. The staff are warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, clearly committed to ensuring guests enjoy their extensive tap selection and delicious menu.

Great spot. Great service bringing out the food and drinks. No need to go to the bar. Awesome little balcony overlooking the street crossing. You used to be able to catch some winter sun here but the new ECU building is casting afternoon shade. Great sound track too.

The Royal is one of those places that just stole my heart ❤️. When I’m in the mood for a beer or a cocktail without making it a whole “event,” this is the spot 🍻🍸. Now, let’s talk prices — if you follow my page Hungry Italians Perth, you already know what’s coming: the infamous Perth Tax™ 💸. I’ve made peace with it at this point — Perth is expensive, and The Royal is no exception 😅. If I were being objective, it’d be a solid 4⭐️ — but since it’s my comfort pub, I’m going with 5 stars from the heart ❤️🔥.

Ok for a drink, nice atmosphere. Avoid getting the steak and chips. Got it as a $30 special and would not get again, especially at full price. Wait time ~40mins but forgivable as there were probably less staff on. Steak was unseasoned and tasted nothing more than a piece of meat chucked on a grill, could taste the char but not the pleasant sort. It came medium rare as requested. Garlic butter had no flavour. Fries also came barely salted. Salad was good.

Didn't eat. Shared a bottle of wine on balcony overlooking peak hour and ECU construction. Beautiful historic pub with a great atmosphere. Loved it.

Fantastic vibe ! Great seat table right above the Main Street . Perfect spot and be sure to book the table if you want outdoor dining perfect food service and great value. I did read that there was some negative feedback but don’t even take notice. Love love love ❤️

Visited the Royal for drinks many times, today we stopped off and grabbed a bit to eat. Chilli squid was drenched in paprika, deep fried to death. Chips in the peri peri chicken were also coated in paprika. Manager was very apologetic and a refund was offered. Service was solid, only the food was unacceptable. We will still come back.

We did the private dining room experience, 10 people. 2 courses, $65. Exceptional value. Point of difference was the table service and ordering drinks; guests paid for each drink with the eftpos terminal at the table. Avoiding splitting the bill at the end of the night was the best.

A nice venue in the city and close to Perth RAC arena. The upstairs bar is very efficient. We ordered king prawn salad and beer battered snapper to share. Took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive on a Thursday evening. The food this evening was really mediocre unfortunately. My husband ordered Beer battered snapper which of course he didn't mind but I didn't think it was that great. A bit flavorless and soggy. The King prawn salad was just a bit strange. It looked like they threw In yesterday's leftovers because there were some cold limp rice noodles mixed in that was not listed on the menu. Very underwhelming and for the prices here I guess I expected more. We have been here for a weekend lunch one other time a couple years ago and I recall it being much better. The building itself is very old and well-restored. The bar staff are friendly enough. The food was just average though.

Lower the music so we cam actually hear ourselves thinking. Food was really expensive (80 aud for 2 drinks and 2 burgers!!! Heck i could have eaten better and cheaper in LA for that price ) Quality was average.... 'been to real Pubs in England (1 of them 400 years old and still in business in Exeter...) Anyway, don t waste your time and money in there!
